Biography

Italian anarchist partisan who fought Franco, Moussolini and Hitler's troop. Participated very young in the resistance against the Nazi-fascists, just thirteen years old (but having declared 15 years to his companions) in the anarchist formation "Gino Lucetti" operating in the Apuan Alps, then with the Costignano Costignano brigade (division Modena).

In 1956, after meeting José Luis Facerías and Luís Augustín Vincente in the “ Pietro Gori” circle, he decided to leave for Spain to continue the anti-Francoist struggle.

Goglia' (so called in the anarchist circles) joined the anarchists of Catalonia and moved to France on the border with Spain. In 1957 he joined Spain with Francesc Sabaté Llopart, known as El Quico, and José Luís Facerías with the intent of attacking the life of the generalissimo Francisco Franco. The attack failed for an internal betrayal and Fiaschi was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment, partly served in various Spanish prisons. Fiaschi spent about eight in prisons in Spain and in 1965, at the request of the Italian government, he was extradited on suspicion of robbing a bank in Casale Monferrato, which took place on January 15 1957. On April 12, 1960, Gogliardo did not get results from the process review request. He was initially detained in the prison of Lucca and later transferred to the prison of Lecce and then to Portolongone, where he was placed in solitary confinement for 13 months.

He was released on 30 March 1974. Once out, he returns to his Carrara and opens the Anarchist Cultural Circle, which soon becomes a point of reference for the whole movement. He is one of the promoters of the environmentalist address fight for the closure of the existing Farmoplant pesticide factory in Avenza within the Apuan Industrial Zone. He is also among the organizers of the occupation of the Germinal, the historical seat of the anarchists obtained after the Resistance, against the eviction imposed for reasons of building speculation on the building and, above all, is the creator and promoter of the Germinal Archive Library

«The bottom of about 700 posters is thanks to the work carried out with constancy, meticulousness and passion by Goliardo Fiaschi, born in Carrara on August 21, 1930 and already, at the age of fifteen, in April 1945 together with the partisans who parade through the streets of Modena.”

The collection of posters and the book fund are kept at the Germinal Archive Library.

He died on July 29, 2000 in his hometown, where he rests in the cemetery of Turigliano, a hundred precise years after the attack carried out by Gaetano Bresci.
